Not So Desperate Housewife Hairstyles...OR Hairstyles for your 40's...

Did you watch Desperate Housewives this week? A fabulous return to fall tv. Edie is not dead. Susan is preggers. Brie is faux-pregnant. And there's a new neighbor. Mostly though, the women look gorgeous and what's great, 4 of the 5 are over 40.

Below are some of the best hairstyles, haircuts, and best hair color for women over forty.

Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman, Nicolette Sheridan, and Teri Hatcher

Teri Hatcher in a bob and with long curly hair

While "the wet look" probably won't do it for the average girl, this style with the layers and side-swept bang allows the longer face not to be so long. Also, a little fullness in back and on the sides also helps to even out a long face. It shows that even someone with a long face can wear long hair.

***this shorter style with framing around the face looks the best on long faces.

Marcia Cross with the best red haircolor. Also, Cross shows the redhead how to chose their colors. Look at how gorgeous the yellow shirt looks against her haircolor. She is absolutely glowing here. Also a nice basic cut (for not-so-perfect faces, put your part on the side...)

More Hairstyles for Women in their Twenties--

Want to color your hair blonde? Get a blonde foil with varying degrees of warm blond lowlights, allow your natural color to still be present to avoid a high maintenance hairstyle.

The most natural blond color -Scarlett Johansson

***If you're going to go blonde, follow Scarlett's example above with warmer blonde lowlights foiled in. Unlike below, her hair does not look bleached and the above color will allow your skin tone to glow.

When describing to your stylist what use terms like caramel, golden, to keep your hair from being too ashy or bleached. Make sure your natural is color is mixed in to have a low maintenance style. Have your stylist go a little lighter around your face to frame it.

Best Redhead 2007 - Marcia Cross

Marcia Cross is an absolute beautiful woman. Her red hair color and hairstyle is perfect for her skintone and eyes.

Two great styles. A long bob and layers produce two great styles. Love the hair flip

Best Color & Cut for Fall- Ashley Judd

This is a great cut and color for anyone with thicker hair with a wave. Yes, Ashley has been made up well and I'm sure the hair in this photo took at least 2 hours, but you can get a similar look with long layers and just a touch of red highlights.

Soft and natural, this cut could easily be parted on the side. To make sure it's a good cut and color and I'm not just falling for an actress, I give favorite haircuts the finger test. Basically, I put my finger over the perfectly made-up face of the gorgeous actress to see if the hair stands on its own and yes, color and cut are lovely and would make the not-as-pretty face a little lovelier.
